      No problem. It’s really not hard once you get the hang of it. Just not water much after dividing so you don’t end up with root rot. In no time you will have new growth. Best of luck

      Hey thanks for the compliments. The pots work great for the snake plants for sure. The plants grew to fully fill out the pot again since the video and has been recently divided and the babies were sold at my plant sale. Check back for many more plant episodes. Do you have anything in particular your wanting to see?

    So helpful! I have a snake plant that needs to be propagated soon, it's been the one plan that never quits on me which I love. It's overgrowing its little pot, but more than that, I'm wondering how to get it to be strong enough to stay standing upright verses flopping over. Any ideas?

    • @DaveTheHillsideGardener
      @DaveTheHillsideGardener  Місяць тому

      Don’t over water. And give plenty of light. Sometimes people think they can grow in the dark and water every week. This usually is not a good idea overall.

      I use a different blend depending on the plant. But for these plants I use 50percent promix and to that add extra perlite and some corse sand as they need excellent drainage and sitting in wet soil will kill them. I sometimes add a few scoops of orchid bark to help drainage as well.

    • @DaveTheHillsideGardener
      @DaveTheHillsideGardener  11 місяців тому

      That is a possibility. Remove the plants from the soil if the roots are black or squishy then you most likely have root rot. Leave them out of the soil for 24 hrs to dry out. Then replant in only slightly damp cacti or succulent mix. Water sparingly until you see new growth.

      I think they do best that way. They actually want to be root bound. A big and deep pot will hold too much water and can lead to rotting.
